Can't double click include files within page to open them in CS3

In Dreamweaver 8, if I had a page that had an include file
in, and I wanted to edit the include file, all I had to do was
double click the include within the page I was working on, and the
include file would open up. This doesn't work in CS3 for me
although I think I have all the same preferences set. Can anyone
tell me how to bring back this very convenient feature?

Ahh, I did not realize you were trying in Design View. I
spend most
time in Code View, so that's where my focus was. Glad you
were able to
parse my explanation and get this to work, albeit not as you
had hoped.

Double-click in Files panel will not open a file

Double-click in Files panel will not open a file. Instead
alert message appears (I will translate from Czech): "Design notes
are not allowed for this file. If you want to use Design notes...".
I do not want use Design notes, I want to open a file from File
Panel.
The same issue is when opening by right-click/Open. The only
(and unconfortable) way to open a file from Files panel is to
right-click/Open in program/Dreamweaver, this works.
Do you know why? help me, please, this disturbs me very much.
I have clean installation of up to date CS3 Design Premium
(Version 9.0 build 41) on WinXP SP2. Previous version of DW (v8)
worked fine in this way. Associations in system are set OK, I
think, because double-clicking in my file manager really opens for
examle PHP files in DW.

Also Drag & Drop from Files panel is not functioning.
Sometimes neither alert appears, simply nothing happen.
Note: I am trying usual files like PHP or HTML files, but
also others (PDF, CSS) with the same result - nothing
happens.

How can I double-click a file to open it in default app in my Visual Studio project without creating an installer?

I have an app with code to open a file by double-clicking on it. The app in my Visual Studio project file should start automatically and then open the file automatically. I double-click on the file, then look for the app in my solution folder (I choose the
.exe in the Debug folder). Am I choosing the correct .exe file?
What I'm trying to do is test some code I wrote that will open the associated file type when I double click on it, as opposed to creating an installer, installing the app and then double-clicking on the file to see if it will open in the associated app automatically.

Hi dudefromthebronx,
Yes, I think you could doubt click the .exe file in your local machine.
Of course, maybe you could get it in Bin\Debug or Bin\Release folder, it is related to the current project settings.
But we would know some differences between them:

Why can't I preview indd files within InDesign's open file dialog box?

Hello all,
It is bad enough that Adobe doesn't add a plugin to preview any Adobe source file within Windows Explorer (well, except for PDF but I think Microsoft did that).
But I find it ridiculous that I cannot preview .indd source files inside InDesign's Open File dialog box. It just states, "No preview available". I am sure this failure is tied into what Windows can preview... still, not a good excuse!
This is also the same problem in both Illustrator and Photoshop.... neither Adobe program can preview their own file format!
WHY? OR How can I correct this?
[UPDATE: SageThumbs | SourceForge.net seems to partially work on many Photoshop files (works reasonably well as long as I limit the file size to 70mb), it doesn't seem to work on Illustrator files (despite the claim), and it doesn't work on InDesign.]
Still, the question remains, why isn't Adobe taking responsibility for this?

I think you all misunderstood.
I am referring to opening files *within* the Adobe software. Example: Inside InDesign, I click File > Open... I see a list of my .indd files and to the right is a window with the words, "Select a file to preview." If I select an .indd file, I think it is reasonable to assume that I will see a preview of the .indd file... but NO, I just see the message, "No preview available."
In my opinion, this is a failing of Adobe!
> Use bridge
Why would I want to open a separate program just to see thumbnails? Sure Bridge has its uses when I want to look at a lot of different images but I am only talking about quickly seeing a thumbnail before I open a single file within either InDesign, Photoshop, or Illustrator.
Q. If Bridge can render thumbnails, why on Earth would Adobe not place the preview code into the open file dialog of each program?

Double-Clicking Excel 2004 Docs Won't Open Them

Odd problem, not sure if there is a work-around:
I am using Excel 2004 which seems to work perfectly otherwise. When I double-click an Excel doc (.xls), it will open Excel itself, but the document will not load. The only way I can open an Excel document is to select Open from the File menu within Excel and navigate to and select the file. It cannot be opened from the Finder by any method I have tried.
Anybody got any thoughts?

I have an external hard driver that I used to use with my old pc, but now I have a mac and I can see all of the files on it and open them, but I can't add things to it. How do I fix this?

I use my external hard drive to store all of my music, but now I can't save anything on it with my new Mac. Is there a way that I can reformat it or something without losing everything I already have on there?

I suggest to copy all your files in your external drive to your Macbook and reformat that external drive to Mac OS Extended Journaled or exFat.
Once you've done that - then copy all the files back to your external drive.
Do not format your external drive if you haven't copied whats in your external drive. You'll lose everything.

Windows Server 2008 R2 clients can't double click to open Office files

Let me start by saying I don't know too much about Server 2008.
I have Server set up so desktop clients (Windows 7 Pro 64-bit) can log in as their user on their own machines. On two of the client machines (mine and my bosses, I have admin rights on everything) a couple funny things are happening:
1. Can't open a Word or Excel file by double clicking the icon on the desktop. Error is as follows:
Excel
Microsoft Excel cannot access the file 'C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART\PERSONAL.XLSB'. There are several possible reasons: The file name or path does not exist. The file is being used by another program.
The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a currently open workbook.
Word
The file Normal.dotm cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents.
and then
Word cannot open this document template. (C:\Users\(username)\...\AVWiz14s.dotm)
and then
Word cannot open the existing file. (Normal)
and then Word stops responding.
Note that I can open these documents normally from the start menu. I have determined this error has something to do with the server because I have tried a bunch of stuff on the internet, including an Excel hotfix, which did nothing.
2. Desktop icons flicker, rearrange themselves, and even disappear completely at times. I do not know what causes this, but I do believe this is a server issue.
3. I get recycle bin errors every time I log in, and every time I try to delete anything:
The Recycle Bin on \\intecserver\Office Employee Files\kneureuter\My Documents\My Videos is corrupted. Do you want to empty the Recycle Bin for this drive?
Sometimes I get that error for 3-4 different directories.
What I've tried:
I tried reinstalling Office, and that made no difference.
I have the drive from the server "Office Employee Files" mapped to network drive Y:. I can open that and go to my account folder on there, navigate to "Desktop" and open the files from there, but not on the physical desktop on my
computer.
These files aren't shortcuts on the desktop, their permanent home is on the desktop.
Just to reiterate, if I moved these files into a folder on the desktop, they will open fine. If I open them from within Excel or Word, they open fine. If I open them from the server drive mapped onto my terminal, they open fine. Just can't
open them by double-clicking the file if it is directly on the desktop. Any ideas?
I logged onto my account from a different computer and double-clicking to open the files worked fine on that computer. Both computers running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit and Office 2010 Pro. So that limits it to this machine and my bosses machine.
Since you can't create a shortcut for something on the desktop, I created a new folder on the desktop and put the files in that folder. From there I created a shortcut and put that on the desktop. That worked!
However, that's just a band-aid. I need to fix this problem sooner than later.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Hi AxEheaD15,
If the Desktop or the My Documents folder is redirected to a network location, Office applications may exhibit the similar issues .

Can't double click to open PDF files

Within the past two weeks I'm getting this odd error where I can't open a PDF file by double clicking it. I get an error saying "This action is only valid for products that are already installed"
I have Reader 8.1.2. installed. I CAN open a PDF file when I open up Adobe Reader and then browse and select the file from the File Menu. I just can't double click to open any more. Very annoying.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Reader, but I'm getting the same error.
Any help is much appreciated!

How Can I Simulate Double-Clicking A File To Open It In The Default App Without Installing Default App?

I have an app written with Visual Studio 2013. The app has code for opening a file using the standard OpenFileDialog and also has code (AutoOpenFile()) for opening a file when a user double-clicks on a file that is handled by the app. I have not yet created
an installer for the app, so I won't be able to test it's AutoOpenFile() code...unless there is a way to simulate the process of auto-opening the double-clicked file without actually installing the app on my PC. Anyone?

Thanks for your reply, Wyck. I already have the necessary code in my app for opening a file when I double-click on it. The problem is that the app is not currently installed on my PC. Until I do install it, is there a way I can test-run that code
by double-clicking on an associated file?
You lost me at: you want to test-run code that is not on your PC.
O_o
You want to double-click a file, and then...what do you want to have happen? You want to run...something...that is not on your PC??
The "simulation" is to launch your app from the command line and pass in the name of the file you wanted to simulate a "double-click" of.
Regardless, you cannot get the shell to have a double-click of a file cause your application to launch unless you modify the registry to do so. (This is tantamount to "install" to me.)
In the spirit of continuing to be helpful, though, I'll assume that this is what you want to do and I'll show you how to get it done with the least amount of tampering with your registry.
Here are minimally invasive registry modifications you need to make to get it to launch a program when you double-click your file. It's pretty small.
EXAMPLE ONLY:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.wyck]
@="Wyck.Document"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wyck.Document\shell\open\command]
@="c:\\windows\\system32\\notepad.exe \"%1\""
[You have to save the above with your appropriate modifications to a file with the
.reg extension (e.g.: test.reg) and then you'll have to double-click the test.reg file to "merge" these settings into your registry.]
The example above registers a file extension called .wyck and assigns a completely arbitrary class name to it called
Wyck.Document.
Then it associates a shell open command with the Wyck.Document class that causes
notepad.exe to be passed the filename of the file you double-clicked (that's what the
%1 does). You are welcome to replace all the specific names with your own extensions and class names and replace notepad.exe with the path to your (test) executable.
This executable will be launched, but not with a debugger attached. To facilitate debugging it, you'll want to temporarily add some code to your program to pause when the program launches, possibly by showing a message box right at the very beginning
of your main function that says "attach debugger now" so that you can attach a debugger to the process that was started by the shell, and then dismiss the message box and continue debugging.
When you are done with your testing, you can simply manually delete those two registry keys using
regedit.

I'm using imovie 10.0.3 with OS x Version 10.9.2. or some reason I can't double click on iphoto events to siadplay the pictures within that event. I've rebuilt my iphoto library, but nothing seems to work. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello All,
Also no answer but am having the same problem. All my catalogueing via folders is up in smoke and no external HDs (where I would normally directly store raw footage when importing) showing up on the iMovie interface. It is a pain the arse to go back to the earlier version - why APPLE, pray tell, do you continue to lower expectations user-friendly functions. Shall try the option+open for a library but this too is extremely inconvenient if it works like iPhoto because you have to log out to log in to a new library whereas I just want to be able to see my multiple HDs directly from the iMovie menu and then the folders within folders I have layered in there - to make it easy to FIND STUFF. Wake up Apple, you are NOT meeting your customer's needs or desires.
Thanks to the posters who are helping the rest of us lost in the dark with possible solutions - free fix-its for Apple which they don't deserve.

Double clicking PS files opens Photoshop but not the file? why?

Since re-installing my system a few months ago double clicking on a photoshop doc will open Photoshop itself but not the file I have clicked on - can't work out why. Can anyone help? Any file wherever its saved the same thing happens.
Thanks

Formerly I could download YouTube videos by double clicking the largest size page element in the Safari activity window address column. Now in V 5.0.5 page elements are not shown, just the page title, and under that about:blank. Suggestions? Thanks.

Formerly I could download YouTube videos by double clicking the largest size page element in the Safari activity window address column . Now in V 5.0.5 page elements are not shown, just the page title, and under that "about:blank". Also, the activity window used to show sequential activity and now each new page replaces the last. Thanks for any suggestions re how to restore previous activity window function.

Not all YouTube videos are available for downloading, but:
There is the Free iTube Grabber which can capture almost any audio and/or video stream (it says here) but only works with Intel Macs.
http://itube-grabber.en.softonic.com/mac
Firefox Download Helper is also supposed to work, you have to be logged into YouTube first.
and the RealPlayer Downloader that comes with RealPlayer SP for Mac from:
http://www.real.com/realplayer/mac
which also downloads videos from YouTube.
There is also iTubeX which allows you to download videos (Flash, HTML5 and others), .mp3 and .swf files from almost every website as easily as possible:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/27604/itubex
Lastly: How to download Flash videos and play them in Quicktime using Perian is explained here:

Opening photoshop from double click on file opens the app but doesn't open the file.

This is a new behaviour... how can we solve it? Its very annoying!

Thanks!
Steps to reproduce:
Having the photoshop closed...
1 - Double click a psd file on the desktop (or any other place)
2 - Photoshop loads until it gets to the normal window
3 - The file wasn't opened
4 - Go back to the desktop and double click the file
5 - Photoshop (that is at this time already open), opens the file and displays it on screen
Shouldn't it be opening the file after loading photoshop?
details on my macbook and photoshop versions attached

I can no longer create an event on iCal by double clicking on a time or date, nor can I double click on an existing event! HELP!

I can no longer create an event on iCal by double clicking on a time or date, nor can I double click on an existing event! HELP!
The only way I have to create an event is by using the "+" button, which is very limiting!
I am running the latest version of Mac OS X and all the updates.
Anyone know how I could get a proper use of my iCal ?
Thanks

Hi,
If you list the steps you have taken to fix this it will help.
Have you tried using the File > New Event menu item?
Have you logged the user account out/ restarted the computer?
Have you tried un-syncing any accounts synced to Calendar?
Is there some change made to the computer that may have triggered this?
Best wishes
John M
